2026 season recap
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Pickles came into 2026 with a baseball team and a dream to have the biggest block party at Walker Stadium all summer.
By the end of the summer, nearly 200,000 fans had walked through the gates at Walker Stadium. There were home runs, strikeouts, playoff baseball, dogs, cats, drag races, and SO MUCH MORE.
THE BASEBALL PART
The Pickles put together a playoff season in the West Coast League, earning a postseason spot and sweeping the Marion Berries in the South Division playoff round.
Pickles hitters drew 433 walks, hit 32 home runs and led the West Coast League with on base percentage.
But, naturally, baseball wasn't the only highlight of the season.
THE IMPORTANT STATS
Fans through the gates: Nearly 200,000
Hot dogs eaten: 25,202
Long dogs eaten: 7,342
Pickle sticks consumed: 9,603
Dogs at Woof Wednesday: woof woof

MORE THAN BASEBALL
Nearly $22,000 was raised through Pickles Care for Friends of Baseball, Path Home and Unite Oregon, with fans supporting the cause through 50/50 raffles at every home game.
And the community showed up in plenty of other ways: 50 home games, 50 theme nights, Woof Wednesdays, Purr in the Park, Youth Sports Sundays and even a ballpark wedding night where couples said “I dill.”
At Walker Stadium, there’s always a little more happening than just baseball.

It was still one hell of a summer.
